Speedgate Café Ride - Cyclists In Southwark

The Kitchen

Kent: the final frontier. Our five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where hardly any Southwark Cyclist has gone before!

As this is nominally a "Lewisham" ride, the main meeting point will be Le Délice, Hither Green, at 9am. However, the "In Southwark" contingent of our cycling group can also meet at London Bridge Station, Platform 2 and catch the 8.36 am train to Hither Green.

When we get to the Speedgate Café, we will stop for a mid-ride coffee break.

This 4-5 hour social cycle ride is for confident riders who want to ride outside London but don’t have all day for a ride. Average speed around 9mph, up to 35 miles and around 2000 feet of climbing.     

On our way back, we will seek out the West Kingsdown Windmill and then follow the five mile downhill run along the Knatts Valley.

The 36 mile route for the ride can be downloaded from here: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/43449139.

The ride will finish at Orpington Station (Zone 6), where there is a regular train service back to central London.

  • Although we are under many umbrellas, "we do not usually actively involve ourselves in the campaigns. We are here to make cycling enjoyable for you and for us".
  • We do support cycling campaigns, "because they are designed to improve our cycling lot. But we are not the sort of group that goes on demonstrations or things of that nature".
